angular translate custom json format

While re-writing an application I decided to use angular translate. I have loaded my translations using the staticFilesLoader

The problem I have is because my translation table is structured in the following format:

{
    "key": "_WelcomeMessage_",
    "value": "Welcome!",
    "description": "This is the welcome message"
}

I do not want to put the effort to change the format of my files as my application is already translated to 3 languages and contains close to 600 key value pairs.

Is there a way I can get past this problem? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, no. If your current logic is like replacing the key value with the next attribute value you have to change your structure like this. You could write a little script which generates you the right output based on your current structure.

{
    "_WelcomeMessage_": "Welcome!",
    "description": "This is the welcome message"
}

Your script could be look like this (done with AngularJS but you could do it with node.js or php .. etc. aswell), fiddle demo:

AngularJS application

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);

myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function ($scope) {

   $scope.output = {};
   $scope.input = [{
      "key": "_WelcomeMessage_",
      "value": "Welcome!",
      "description": "This is the welcome message"
  },{
      "key": "_anOtherMessage",
      "value": "Message to be fine!",
      "description": "This is the welcome message"
  }];

  angular.forEach($scope.input, function (translationItem) {
        $scope.output[translationItem.key] = translationItem.value;
        $scope.output[translationItem.key + 'description'] = translationItem.description;
  });
});
